Moon's tears

Once more I say hello to my goodbyes,

not sure as to why I feel this desire.

My dreams blend into my tears,

a smile so warm it hurts.

Looking to the sky I realize,

how much her memory haunts me.

Lie to me again tell me you love me,

say what you will as the lights go out.

My heart is on my sleeve making it harder to hear me,

even then my life is so unnoticed by your heart.

I snap before the madness within my eyes,

failing to see who I am to you.

Screaming so loudly the silence eats my heart away,

leaving thoughts and feelings the same buried deep within you.

When I am me I see how much I hate what I am,

a raging wave of emotions dying to escape.

Backing off of my desires fleeting memories cold,

snow washes away my soul when love comes into play.

Drenched in your tears drowning my heart’s hope,

calling out to be held one more time in this shame.

What direction have I come to as loneliness fades,

do you see my heart still crying the shame of yesterday?

In a moments time all silence brings the sorrow within,

taking me to a world I never wanted to know.

Nothing to make anything better in my fears,

finding who you are still covers my eyes.

Wanting you to see me in more than a dream,

I wait for you under the moon crying shadows and light.
